Week of May 4th, 2020

Here is a read-aloud about rollercoasters! If you've ever ridden one, you might think they are pretty fun, or you might think they are scary. Let's think about this --engineers had to design them and then builders had to construct them! It's kind of amazing that people are able to build rollercoasters that make riders go super fast on a track, make them go down very steep hills, and even make them go in loops upside-down--all while keeping everyone safe! It takes a lot of science to make that happen!






If you would like to try to build a paper rollercoaster like the one shown above, below is a link to a quick video that shows you how to make one. (You can make paper tracks without using the printable template they show in the video.)



Here is the link to the lesson plan with more details:
